The world is in turmoil. The dead are being brought back to life, demons are rampaging, and the once blessed gods and goddesses have shunned their creations leaving the world to be destroyed. War is the only thing Skye Firebird has ever known. Raised as an orphan soldier, he has only ever fought. Born after the Great Apostasy, he has never believed in the mythical deities of his ancestors. All that changes when a chance encounter with the Goddess of Life and Death, Jacqueline, disrupts his life forever.

The Goddess's Hero

I couldn't tell if I was up or down. My mind felt lighter but my body felt heavy. Sharp needles pricked through my veins. Light poured through my eyelids and I covered my face. 


"Uagh." I groaned as I squinted at my arm. My ears rang and I directed my attention to sitting up. The sharp prickle feeling I had drifted away slowly. I regretted it once an intense throbbing began in my head. Everything was moving, and yet I knew nothing was. I moved my legs over the side of the bed I was laying in. I gripped my head in order to stop everything from moving. Deep breaths, deep breaths. I inhaled for ten seconds and then I exhaled for ten more. The pounding lessened enough for me to look around.
